The History of Recipes

We can track the history of `recipes` far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated.

Later on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich.

For the next few years, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income.
